Bieber Drama: Justin's Perverse Motive in Fueling Hailey vs. Selena Feud?

Gomez is hoping to 'move on to another chapter in her life' and would love nothing more than for 'all this drama to be behind her,' an insider exclusively tells the Daily Mail

THE DRAMA CONTINUES: SELENA GOMEZ AND HAILEY BEIBER'S FAMOUS FEUD SHOWS NO SIGNS OF ABATING

It's been years since Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber parted ways, but it seems their tumultuous relationship is still causing waves in the lives of these two A-listers. The latest twist? Hailey Bieber, Justin's wife, is still engaged in a very public feud with her ex-flame's former girlfriend.

Hailey, 28, has long been at odds with Selena, 33, and it appears she's not about to let up on the drama anytime soon. In a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal, Hailey vented about being constantly pitted against other celebrities, including Selena. "It's always annoying being compared to others," she complained. "I didn't ask for that."

Hailey recently decried the constant comparisons between her own brand, Rhode Beauty, and Gomez's Rare Beauty, as 'annoying'

But insiders claim Selena is over it – and wants out of this toxic drama. Sources close to the pop star reveal that she's hoping to move on to a new chapter in her life and leave all this nonsense behind. "Selena is tired of being dragged into Hailey's games," an insider spills. "She wants to focus on her own brand, Rare Beauty, and not be constantly compared to Hailey's Rhode Beauty."

However, it seems Selena isn't taking the high road without a few jabs at her rival. A since-deleted Instagram post from Saturday read: "Just leave the girl alone. She can say whatever she wants. Doesn't affect my life whatsoever. It's just about relevance not intelligence. Be kind. All brands inspire me. There is room for everyone. And hopefully we can all stop."

The post was quickly deleted, but not before fans caught wind of it and took to social media to call out Hailey for her perceived shade. "Selena hit back at Hailey's annoying comments," our insider confirms. "It looks like the gloves are off in this celebrity feud!"

But what about Justin? Sources claim he's fully on board with Hailey's antics, even encouraging her to keep stirring up drama. "Justin trusts Hailey and lets her do her thing," an insider reveals. "He thinks it shows that she loves him – and he loves the attention."

The reason behind Justin's willingness to let Hailey take center stage? "Justin believes Hailey's feud with Selena is all about proving her love for him," our source spills. "He eats it up, even when it gets messy."

Meanwhile, Selena seems determined to rise above the drama and move on with her life. Sources close to the singer reveal that she's had talks with her new husband, music producer Benny Blanco, 37, about taking a higher road in this celebrity feud. "Selena wants to be the mature one," our insider confirms. "She knows it won't kill her to let Hailey keep talking – and she's got bigger things on her plate."

As for what would happen if Selena and Hailey were to run into each other at a party or event? Our sources claim they'd likely exchange pleasantries, but the tension between them would be palpable. "They're not friends," our insider notes. "But in public, they can put on a nice face – for now."

With the drama showing no signs of letting up, fans are left wondering: will Selena and Hailey ever find peace? Only time (and perhaps a little bit of healing) will tell.
